10 Reasons Why Adrian Neville Vs Sami Zayn Is WWE's Story Of The Year

9. Sami Zayn - People's Champion

Sami Zayn is such a likeable performer. Not only does he give it absolutely everything he has whenever he's in the ring, but in interviews and during appearances he come across very, very well. He's clearly a decent guy and the NXT fans have recognised that. Nobody has developed as strong a connection or following in NXT than Zayn has. Developing that personal connection with the fans is something that every successful WWE wrestler must do and Sami is well on his way in that regard. The Neville feud has only improved that connection with the fans. They can see just how much this means to Zayn and he will be the strong fan favourite at R Evolution. The Neville/Zayn saga has done a fantastic job of making Zayn more people than he already was.
